The Spurs may sit atop the Midwest Division with the second-best record in the league, ranked third in scoring and needing only to beat Toronto on Wednesday for their best start ever.

Just don't expect them to puff out their chests over success even they consider inflated.

Of the Spurs' 14 victories, only three have come against teams that did not have losing records entering Sunday night. And none of those three teams ? the Portland Trail Blazers, Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic ? are more than a game above .500.
